The KCBJ Story

Since 1940, Kansas City Bone & Joint Clinic has provided orthopedic service and compassion for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. In 2007, we opened our new facility at 10701 Nall in Overland Park. In 2011, we joined Signature Medical Group as a division of Signature Medical Group of K.C., PA and in 2015 we opened our Lee’s Summit office at 3151 NE Carnegie Drive.

Our specific focus is the musculoskeletal system, the system of the body that includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and any structures related to them. Along with general orthopedic surgery and physical medicine and rehabilitation, KCBJ has orthopaedic surgeons with fellowship training in total joint replacement, sports medicine, hand surgery, foot and ankle surgery, knee, shoulder and ankle arthroscopy.

Kansas City Bone and Joint Clinic’s physicians are all board-certified. Board certification indicates the physician has passed rigid training administered by members of an American Specialty Board, and has documented surgical cases reviewed by their examiners for a required period of time. Many are specialty trained and hold additional certifications.

Back in Action

Our patients at Kansas City Bone & Joint Clinic are very important to us. Here are some great stories from a few of our patients on how they got ‘Back in Action’.

“I got my life back. I can walk, I can ride my bike, i’m in the wellness program at work. Every Wednesday I play sand volleyball and I play golf twice a week.”

A Total Knee Replacement And Still Active As Ever, If Not MoreDr. Robert Bruce performed a total knee replacement on Michelle. She had great results.

“I want people to know, don’t put it off. I have the feeling back in my fingers. I don’t have any fire burning. You can’t even see where he worked on me.”

Dr. Walker patient undergoes bilateral carpal tunnel surgeryDr.Walker was able to get this cartoonist back to doing what he loves.

“I know Dr. Samuelson would not do surgery if it was not absolutely necessary. That’s a thing I think between patient and surgeon. I mean, you essentially place your life in their hand and that would be difficult to do if you did not have total trust. Which I do, with Dr. Samuelson.”
